Lower Living Expenses: DIY Disinfectant Wipes

With the COVID-19 pandemic changing our daily lives throughout the world right now, stores have run out and have to limit how much toilet paper and cleaning disinfectants each person can buy.

Cleaning and disinfectant wipes are a household staple, and can be costly to your wallet and to the environment. As each cleansing wipe is one-time use, they fill up landfills, and many people don’t take the time to recycle the packaging. However, while trying to find a way to be eco-friendly and sanitize my home (due to all stores near me being sold out of disinfecting wipes), I’ve found a cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative to buying them. It does require a little DIY, but its very easy, and takes very little time (about 10 minutes), especially after you’ve created your initial batch.

All you’ll need is a glass jar (or re-purpose any container you have laying around with a sealed lid), washcloths (can also re-purpose old clothing, just be sure to throw it in the washer first), rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and essential oil (optional).

I easily go through at least 1 container of disinfecting wipes once a month from regular cleaning throughout my apartment (without a pandemic to worry about), and the cost seems minimal (about $7 for a 75-ct Clorox disinfecting wipes at CVS = about $85+tax yearly) but is actually a huge difference when compared to the costs to the DIY eco-friendly version which is about $18 yearly(~$3 eco-friendly dish soap, $2.59 for 32oz 91% rubbing alcohol=4cups) That’s almost a $70 starting difference (dish soap is often on sale, most already have dish soap at home, etc.) which I’m sure anyone of us would rather spend on a night out, makeup, etc. 

DIY Disinfectant Wipes

Materials: 

Clean Glass jar/container with sealing lid (so alcohol won’t evaporate)

10+ washcloths (however many will fit into your container/jar)-- may cut into whatever size you want your wipes to be. 

2 cups rubbing alcohol                     

2-3 tsp of dish soap (I prefer the Clorox Greenworks or Seventh Generation ones but any will do)

10 drops of an essential oil (you can pick one just for scent like lavender or one with potential anti-viral/bacterial properties as described below) 

Essential Oils with anti-viral/bacterial properties-- According to the American Journal of Essential Oils and Natural Products the following may have anti-viral/bacterial/fungal properties, but more research is needed.

Tea Tree Oil

Lemon

Eucalyptus Oil

Peppermint 

Rosemary

Thyme Leaf

a few others that can be found here

Instructions:

Clean/Disinfect glass jar/sealed container and washcloths.

Place the clean washcloths inside the jar/container.

In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the rubbing alcohol, dish soap, and essential oil together.

Pour the cleaning mix into jar/container over the washcloths.

Put the lid on, and use cloths as needed. 

** After your rags are dirty, throw in the washing machine to re-use and re-make cleaning solution as needed!

Use Energy Star-Certified appliances

Your energy bills will be a necessary living expense throughout your life, and is comprised of your natural gas and electricity bills. 

While these bills are unavoidable, they can be minimized with a few energy saving tips, habits, and small investments. The best part about paying attention to energy-saving device options is that their more friendly to the environment, and help to reduce your carbon footprint-- your wallet and the earth will thank you!

Energy Star-Certified 

When buying household appliances, be sure to buy energy-star certified appliances whenever possible as these can lower your energy bills in the long-run and don’t usually cost too much more than other appliances. Appliances such as refrigerators, clothes washer/dryer machines, dishwashers, tv’s, microwaves, and even computers/laptops are running all day, using electricity, so investing in ones that are energy-efficient and that save energy will save you money in the long-term.

Appliances important to be aware of due to their heavy/constant energy use:

Refrigerators

Clothes washers/dryers

Dishwashers

Air Conditioners

Heating Appliances

Microwaves

Stovetops/Ovens

Laptops/ Computers

TV

Humidifiers

Energy-Efficient Appliances

While big ticket appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers. etc) are easily remembered when looking at energy efficiency, people forget about all the little appliances that also use electricity and use vampire energy even when not in use. Being aware of which electrical appliances you purchase can help reduce standby power (vampire energy) and lower your carbon footprint.

Small household items to be aware of for long-term savings:

LED light bulbs

Advanced Power Strips

Re-chargeable batteries

Nest Thermostats

Daily Habits

These small changes will make a difference in your bills and over the long run while being better for the environment. Separately, it probably doesn’t seem like much in terms of savings, but put all together, the savings do add up.
